• I think my best essay is 1-03b Many kinds of relationships and traditional culture . Because it has enough words and paragraphs. In addition, the detail of it is good, for example, I could focus on the relationship among my parents and me, so I also could reconfirm about it!

naginata club member

We had a long talk about what we give them, as a result, we decided to buy and give some bath tools each member. We bought them franc franc in the News. After that, we went our graduated high school to give presents. But unfortunately, they were not there... So we decided to visit there 2 weeks later to meet them. Then, we had lunch at the restaurant. We ate 500 yen lunch, it included in a pasta plate, salad, desert and drink. We could choose the pasta plate and drink in the each all kinds of pasta and drink. It was really good and cheap! So I recommend you to have that lunch!! After we had lunch, we went shopping because the clearance sale has been holding these days. I bought some cloths and a pair of shoes when we went there! I had special time there with my friends^^ (180 words)

1-03a many kind of relationship and traditional things

In this movie, many important things in the real life for us!

There were many kind of relationships. I found some of them, for example, friendship between Lilo and Stitch, friendship between Lilo’s sister and her boyfriend, relationship between Lilo and her sister, relationship between stitch and a scientist and relationship among sisters and their parents. Most impressive relationship in the movie was ‘relationship among sisters and their parents.’ One day the Hawaiian restaurant hire older sister because of the accident, so she had no job. The promise with a child protect man to live Lilo and older sister together was ‘To get her new job’, but she could not. On he eve of before he took in Lilo, Lilo and older sister talk about future and family. They said ‘Wherever we are, remember that we are together in our heart.’ Their parents always say so before they died. It was like a motto for family.

When I heard that phrase, I thought the relationship among my parents and me. I am planning to get my job in other prefecture. When I taught my parents about my think, they look really worries about my life in other prefecture and so on. But I want to say Lilo’s family’s motto ‘Wherever we are, remember that we are together in our heart.’ So I want also remember their great motto. If we forget the importance of our family, it is really vexing.

In addition, I could see many traditional cultures in the movie. For example, fula, local languages and traditional foods and so on. In the movie Lilo taught stitch the fula to get along with other people. When he practices the fula on the beach, many people came together to him to watch his dance. His dance was really pretty and he was a good dancer!

We have a traditional dance in Kumamoto. It is otemoyan dance. The original otemoyan was a traditional folk song. The story about a girl Otemo, then it became the traditional dance with the song in Kumamoto. Otemoyan dance is included in the Hinokuni festival in Kumamoto city. If we go to downtown during obon, we can see it. I go and see it every year because when I see it, I can feel the summer and excitement from the dance. (385 words)

I will introduce about the baby girl. Her father is my English conversation school teacher come from England. And her mother is Japanese woman. So, the baby is a mix. She was born in Japan in October last year. In these days, she talks something, but we do not know what she talks. If she starts talking something we can understand, I want to talk about a lot of things with her!! I am looking forward to talking with her very much^^ (82 words)

GREEN LAND

I made this box lunch when I went to the Green Land in Arao with my boyfriend on March. He taught me what he want to eat, then I cooked some side dishes what he likes. First, I woke up at 5:30, and then I started cooking the dishes. After finished making side dishes, he just had picked me up to my house by his car. The way of going there took about 2 hours by car. We entered the amusement park after the opening. My boyfriend is not good at riding the roller coasters but I rode a lot of roller coasters with him. After we rode some coasters, he looked feel bad><. Anyway we had a wonderful time there. Fortunately, when he was eating box lunch which I cooked, he said’ These are really delicious! THANKS!!’ I want to make a lot of lunch boxes for him again^^ (150 words)
